"Священная война", meaning "The Sacred War", is a Patriotic Russian song about the Eastern Front of WW2, in which the European Axis powers and their allies invaded the Soviet Union to commence Operation Barbarossa. This operation was meant to take out the USSR before winter by spearing the Axis armies toward the USSR's three major cities: Moscow, Leningrad, and Stalingrad. This operation failed when they were halted at the gates of Moscow due to the harsh Russian Winter, and then were pushed back.
